Alright, lets go. It is only a few weeks away.


Obviously this year they used a different venue for the yearly tournament in May.


Here are all the winners at Quail Hollow since inception...

I'll be interested in the set-up. Obviously the green mile is quite the test as is.

We'll wait patiently for Alan's stats post.
 
Although early I am not going to play Joey Sindelar:cigarguy:
Lots of changes at the course and need to look into those more

If I remember correctly at least 3 new holes have been added and the greens have changed grass type
 
Think this major will be set up to benefit the guys who can bomb it and make a ton of birdies. Rory, DJ, Day, Rahm, etc. Think you got to take a long look at Spieth too. Maybe not the best setup for him, but he's won at Chambers Bay and almost won at Whistling Straits in similar circumstances
 
Rory is too obvious. This is what I wrote in last years PGA thread

"The one that intrigues me is Rory. He is really coming into form. He did well on the wrong side of the draw at Troon and I think he has a big 12 months ahead of him. However, as was pointed out to me, all his wins have been low scores. He has won 16 times on the US and Euro Tours, with a winning score ranging from -12 to -23. That is an average winning score of -17.25 and a winning margin of just under 3. His wins in Majors have ranged from -13 to -17, with an average of -15.5 and a margin of 4.75. The winning score here in 2004 was -4, so I don’t think this course will suit him. "

Rory needs to shoot low to win. I doubt Quail Hollow will be set up like it normally is. In the 14 years the Wells Fargo has been played at Quail Hollow the winner shot at least -10 on 12 occasions. Phil has already said the rough in late summer is much tougher then in late spring.
 
Lets do a bit of form for the PGA

In the last 10 years, since it was moved to the week before the PGA, the PGA winner finished in the top 22 at Bridgestone. This was irrelevant last year due to the Olympics.

Winners from the last decade or so (Age, OWGR), followed by results in majors that year.

Jimmy Walker (37, 48) 29-MC-MC
Jason Day (27, 5) 28-9-4
Rory McIlroy (25, 1) 8-23-1
Jason Dufner (36, 21) 20-4-26
Rory McIlroy (23, 3) 40-MC-60
Keegan Bradley (25, 108) DNP-DNP-DNP
Martin Kaymer (25, 13) MC-8-7
YE Yang (37, 110) MC-DNP-DNP
Padraig Harrington (36, 3) 5-36-1
Eldrick Woods (31, 1) 2-2-12
Eldrick Woods (30, 1) 3-MC-1

8 of the past 11 were inside the world top 25. Bradley and Yang were large triple figures and couldn’t be taken as anything but a speculative bet. Ignoring them, 8 of 9 were in the top 25, 7 of 9 finished in a top 10 in a major that season, and 8 of 9 had finished in the top 10 previously

13 of the past 16 winners had won on the PGA or Euro Tour that season

Finally, nine of the past 11 had finished in the top 10 one one of their previous 2 starts

So the precedents are
Top 25 in OWGR
Top 10 in one of the years previous majors
Top 10 in one of the previous two starts
Top 10 in a previous PGA Championship
Top 22 at Firestone (next week)
Previous winner that season
 
Great info Alan. Just looking at the criteria and the leaderboards from the majors so far this year but little extra research, I got 5 guys who hit all points (except top 10 in a previous 2 starts, since there are 2 more tournaments between now and PGA): Koepka, Spieth, Sergio, Hideki, and Fowler. Leishman is just off the pace as he is ranked 28 in the world. Lot of guys I'm sure meet all but one of those points.
 
I am leaning Fowler, Matsuyama, Spieth though Rory's record is a concern but he just is not as zoned in and consistent to take as the favorite.
Don't take this wrong but as I did in the British Open I am putting $5 on the elite Asian players to win ( much more on Hideki ) as I see PGA like the LPGA was 15 years ago with Asian influx
Almost had a big payday with Li last week but for the next year I plan on doing this in the Majors

Those are the name I came up with too. And like every major the name Fowler appears. He'll finally win one and I'll still be a historical loser in him
 
Rory might be like Tiger and BAR - not suited to the married life and plays better when free to fuck the buzzards

Haha, I've made it 11 months... It's apparently helped my longshot golf capping but sucked away my matchup capping.

Awesome course. Havent read this thread or seen the changes theyve made to the course.

Rory's swing looks great right now. Having his friend on the bag cant hurt. Has to be the favorite.
 
I'll be there Thurs-Fri for sure. Hoping I'll want to stick around for the weekend. Staying at Lake Norman , but good friend of mine has house on course.
 
There may be a real home field advantage for 2012 U.S. Open champion and Charlotte resident Webb Simpson, who is not only a member at Quail Hollow, but also lives right off the seventh tee.

Could be a solid Top 10 bet
 
Lets do a bit of form for the PGA

In the last 10 years, since it was moved to the week before the PGA, the PGA winner finished in the top 22 at Bridgestone. This was irrelevant last year due to the Olympics.

Winners from the last decade or so (Age, OWGR), followed by results in majors that year.

Jimmy Walker (37, 48) 29-MC-MC
Jason Day (27, 5) 28-9-4
Rory McIlroy (25, 1) 8-23-1
Jason Dufner (36, 21) 20-4-26
Rory McIlroy (23, 3) 40-MC-60
Keegan Bradley (25, 108) DNP-DNP-DNP
Martin Kaymer (25, 13) MC-8-7
YE Yang (37, 110) MC-DNP-DNP
Padraig Harrington (36, 3) 5-36-1
Eldrick Woods (31, 1) 2-2-12
Eldrick Woods (30, 1) 3-MC-1

8 of the past 11 were inside the world top 25. Bradley and Yang were large triple figures and couldn’t be taken as anything but a speculative bet. Ignoring them, 8 of 9 were in the top 25, 7 of 9 finished in a top 10 in a major that season, and 8 of 9 had finished in the top 10 previously

13 of the past 16 winners had won on the PGA or Euro Tour that season

Finally, nine of the past 11 had finished in the top 10 one one of their previous 2 starts

So the precedents are
Top 25 in OWGR
Top 10 in one of the years previous majors
Top 10 in one of the previous two starts
Top 10 in a previous PGA Championship
Top 22 at Firestone (next week)
Previous winner that season

Top 25 players that fit all 5 criteria
Jordan Spieth
Hideki Matsuyama
Rickie Fowler
Brooks Koepka

4 criteria
Dustin Johnson
Rory McIlroy
Paul Casey

I did not want Deki winning today...feel like bad omen but we'll see...

I felt the same way, was leaning Hideki to win before Firestone. Though there is precedent for winning both in consecutive weeks. Wonder if it is less distracting to him being foreign? I know there is a huge Japanese media contingent that follows his every move, but it has to be less than if he was actually playing in Japan
 
Sobel posting weather forecast

So a wet, soft, and long course? Rory has to be pleased, as long as there's no wind to speak of
 
They haven't played a PGA out west since like '98. I feel like there is one or two coming though. Also, once they move to May then you can find new trouble.
 
Hard to believe this thing ends on Sunday with that forecast, could be Tuesday
 
Reports that tomorrow the PGA will announce the PGA Championship is moving to May starting in 2019.

Pop up storms happen in the summer. I bet it's over Monday morning at the latest. Most likely Sunday finish. Let's not overreact.
 
March, April and May is going to consist of the Masters, PGA, Players, Match Play, WGC Mexico. Very condensed.

I suspect they'll move the playoffs forward and try to finish the season before the NFL starts. Can't compete for viewers on a sunday
 
Sounded like the players will go back to March, and the playoffs will conclude by Labor Day to not compete with football. A lot of golfers want there to be an actual off season, and this seems like it could provide that as well

Yeah, it will be player friendly for sure.

Just off the top of my head...

-It helps the Florida swing(since they lost Doral)
-You basically get a major tourney every month from March through 3rd weekend of July.
-Obviously now the playoffs will not have to compete with the NFL.
-More time off before Ryder or Presidents Cup each year
-I bet you'll see more stacked fields for the overseas events that happen in November. The fields are already solid as can be but guys will want to get a bit of work in before taking 4-6 weeks off around Holidays.
 
If true, the guys with conditional status will have a couple months to make a statement and earn money/points for a couple months before the "real" season starts. This is vital imo...the stars will not play in Sept/Oct/Nov so build it up. That would be great for some who won't get in to every tournament the following season. Amazing it's taken this long to figure this out.
 
I kinda like THe Players moves to March. Just after or during the NCAA tourney
but I did like the build up to the Masters
